Yeah the plan is to implement FT in Gabble too using Jingle (so, using
p2p connections) but that needs some refactoring in Gabble's jingle
code.

http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Tubes contains a good overview of
the current state.

Once Jingle's code will be refactored in Gabble, we could use it to
implement p2p connections for stream tubes. There are still some issues
in current Jingle XMPP protocol but I think Rob made good progress on
this at the XMPP summit this week.
